Aqueous Garlic Extract Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Retinal Tissue of Rats with Diabetes Type 2

purpose : to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on visual acuity and macular thickness using optical coherence tomography in macular edema associated with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion (crvo). design : a prospective interventional case series. patients & methods : twenty eyes of 25 patients with nonischemic crvo and macular edema with visual acuity o...

conclusions il-33 may be a potential new agent to attenuate rir injury by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and preventing apoptosis. results our data revealed that il-33 pretreatment maintained a better retinal structure, inhibited leukocyte infiltration (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.01 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.01), and reduced the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (il-33 vs. mg w...

Background: To report the posterior segment (uvea and retinal) manifestations imaging characteristics of eyes patients with after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE database to identify relevant articles using following search terms: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, retina, uvea, optic nerve, retinal findings, manifestations, endophthalmitis. Articles published from De...

various neurological complications occur in primary or secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (aps) consisting of cerebrovascular attacks, ocular events, dementia, seizure, chorea, and transverse myelopathy that are all related to the titer of antiphospholipid antibodies (apl). we report a patient with chorea and retinal vessel occlusion as manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) and ...

purpose : to compare retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) profile in subjects with myopia and emmetropia using gdx variable corneal compensator (vcc) methods : besides ophthalmologic standard examination (refraction, visual acuity and slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and funduscopy), perimetry and scanning laser polarimetry (slp) were performed. 171 healthy age-matched subjects with lo...

purpose: to evaluate total plasma homocysteine level during the acute phase of central retinal vein occlusion (crvo) compared with a matched healthy group in iranian population, and determine whether hyperhomocysteinemia is also a risk factor for crvo. methods: a study group contains 54 patients presenting with crvo in recent one month, acute phase of the decease, was compared for fasting total...

purpose: to determine factors that affect and predict final visual acuity, retinal attachment, and ocular survival after open-globe injuries. methods: one-hundred sixteen eyes with open globe injuries were evaluated longitudinally from september 2001to february 2004. age, sex, involved eye, best corrected visual acuity (bcva), afferent pupillary defect (apd), size and location of laceration, ca...

purpose: to measure peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness in normal human eyes by optical coherence tomography (oct). methods: eighty-one eyes of 45 normal participants were studied. each person underwent a complete ophthalmic examinations, including measurement of visual aquity and intraocular pressure and evaluation of the anterior segment, optic disc, and retinal nerve fib...
